Return to Hyderabad T-3

Its T-3 THE DAY ....Shippers are comming home

I won't call it D-DAY (this title is reserved for day when we receive the shipping!)

Got up really early and moved every box to living room, checked, re-checked the labelling. For labelling we followed a process, at first as we packed each box, we marked the box with category code example: E =electronics, H=Household, G=general followed by a number of box in that category. Just a day before shipping, entered all the boxes in excel sheet with a serial number. Finally marked each serial number on the box with total number of boxes for shippers. This whole process gave total of 58 boxes for me including mattress/spring counted as 2 boxes

Yes, shipper came in as scheduled, but one glitch no one came for loading the truck. I insisted in getting the loading help, truck went back and came after 2 hours with a loading staff. 2 guys moved all stuff in about 2 hours and did excellent job without any bumps are draggings. In fact felt if same 2 guys can come to Hyd to unload. Finally shipping truck left at 6:00 PM leaving us completly empty house! LOOKS LIKE ITS TIME FOR SOME INDOOR CRICKET :-)
